%C A264613 This appears to split into 3 sequences:
%C A264613 b(n) = 3*4^(n-1)-1, n>=1: 2,11,47,191,767,3071,12287,49151,...,
%C A264613 c(n) = 3*2^(2*n-1)-1, n>=1: 5,23,95,383,1535,6143,24575,98303,...,
%C A264613 d(n) = 2^(2*n+1), n>=1: 8,32,128,512,2048,8192,32768,...;
%C A264613 If this is true, then the next few terms of the sequence are 12582911, 25165823, 33554432, 50331647, 100663295, ...
